KeywordElectronics,Science,GeologyTaxonomy (OLD)Science|Geology|NotesSediment studies The second stage of a three year study of the hydrological| glaciological and sediment transport processes operating in the Miers Valley will be undertaken by Dr Jack McConchie| accompanied by Richard Hawke |Heather Campbell and David Winchester of Victoria University| Wellington. Work in 1988-89 involved the installation and testing of monitoring equipment at three different sites to collect data to quantify the mass balance of the glacier-river-lake system of the valley| such as the relationship between incoming solar radiation and glacier melt and stream flows. This year the team will measure the amount of incoming solar radiation and calculate the amount reflected back into the atmosphere in order to establish a model stream flow based on net rather than gross solar radiation. The team will also analyse the nature of both the "Aeolian and fluvial sediment transported within the valley to the determine the characteristics of the processes operating and how these vary in space| through time and with temperature
